software for kids where they can play games and browse internet

Question

I'm trying to build a simple utility for kids where they can play games and browse the internet.

this is the final product i need to come up with:

• cross platform
• a gui
• with an web browser in it.
• which can open other applications like games in a window(say 600X400) instead of the whole screen (is it possible to open applications from a click of a button in a window?)
• which has a timer, that clocks down and then disables everything (games and browser)

what is the best way that i can go about. i'm good at c++ (jut c++ i know nothing of COM, ...)

i've been thinking of U++ as my gui framework. I thought of using Gecko to integrate browser in gui, but that seems pretty complex any thing easy?

Answer 1

QT is the easiest existing GUI library solution for multiplatform applications like the one you need. And it's easy to "have web browser" capabilities due to very nice integration with WebKit
